Music and Lyrics

Readers Note: ColoradoanMichigander slept two hours last night. That's it. I'm tired and when I get tired, I get very sentimental and gooshy. So, be warned.

I'm totally obsessed with two songs right now.

1. I'm Yours by Jason Mraz.

This was a first dance song of some our dear friends, The Kearney's. I loved it then, but it's been playing on the radio a lot lately and I just can't get enough of it.

Perhaps my hard candy shell is melting due to the pregnancy, but I'm feeling all sorts of emotional these days and it reminds so, so much of my life. And I feel damn lucky.

2. All That Matters by Mark Knopfler

My friend A. actually sang this at her wedding to her husband. It was unbelievable and beautiful. I leave the words below. I've been singing them to my belly a lot lately. Again, soooo much emotion right now!


my darling girl
you’re all that matters in this wicked world
all that matters
all that matters

my darling boy
my darling boy
all of my sunshine and all of my joy
you’re all that matters
all that matters

well, i can’t stop the pain when it calls
i’m a man and i can’t stop the rain when it falls,
my darling who can?

my darling girl
my darling girl
you’re all that matters
in this wicked world
all that mattersall that matters

my darling friend
my darling friend
all we’ve got going
is love in the end
it’s all that matters
all that matters

I just have a free night at home, so I'm feeling inspired to share.
